Paella party catering in Kenton
What happens on the day
A typical event goes like this: we arrive, set up and start cooking, the rice cooks in front of your guests, and we serve straight from the pan when you’re ready to eat. A summer party in Kenton stays light until about 9:20pm at midsummer, so a garden party can run well into the evening. In late September it’s dark by about 7:05pm; add lights for the evening.
- It starts with your date, address, numbers and any diets.
- We suggest a menu and confirm a quote.
- On the day we arrive, set up our cooking area and start cooking.
- Your guests watch the paella cook, with tapas first if you’ve chosen them.
- We serve it hot from the pan, then pack down.
Getting ready for the day
- Confirm the venue is happy with live cooking
- Send us final numbers and dietary needs in good time
- Leave space around the cooking area

How our paella party catering works in Kenton
A paella party works in most gardens, if there’s a level spot away from fences and trees. Not sure? Send a photo. We’re frequently asked to cater family reunions and baby celebrations, serving tapas, churros and mixed paella.
Most parties in Kenton are in back gardens, which in London can be compact. We need a level spot clear of fences and trees, and somewhere to park and unload. Send a photo of the garden. The paella is served straight from the pan, so it is hot and generous, and a queue moves quickly.

Kenton: your questions answered
Is parking a problem for events in Kenton?
London parking needs planning: let us know about permits or off-street space. We’ll work around it.
Can you cook in Preston Park?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Ask them first, and we’ll send any information they need.
Do you provide plates and cutlery?
Yes, on request. Crockery, cutlery and napkins, or good-quality disposables are available.
Do you offer halal options?
We can. Let us know your halal numbers, and it is cooked separately.
Can you do gluten-free paella?
Yes, on request. The rice is gluten-free, but stocks and chorizo can contain gluten, so we cook a gluten-free paella separately.
Do you cater for vegetarian guests?
Yes, and meat eaters frequently go back for seconds. Each is cooked separately, with its own stock and utensils.
Do you come to Kenton?
Yes, we do. Kenton is one of the places we cover. Send us your date to check availability.
Will there be enough food?
Pans are sized to your numbers and other courses. Tell us what else is being served. Our guide to portions explains more.
How we price paella party catering
Live paella pricing is straightforward once we know the basics:
- Travel, parking and access
- Staff: cooks, waiting staff and bar staff
- Chicken, vegetable or premium seafood
- How long we’re needed on site
Access and travel can make a difference to the cost, so tell us about the venue when you ask for a quote. Everything is confirmed in writing.
Details that help
The more we know about your party, the better we can plan. Try to include:
- The date and rough timings
- Approximate guest numbers, including children
- Anything your venue supplies
- Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, halal and allergy numbers
Not sure what you need yet? That is fine: tell us about the occasion and the guests, and we’ll make suggestions. To start, send us your details through our quote form.
Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
Not sure whether to cook yourself or book a caterer? Think about numbers, diets and how much you want to enjoy the day. We are happy to give you a quote to compare.
Some hosts like to cook themselves. Common mistakes are mismatched pans and burners, overfilling and stirring. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us cook.
What’s in the pans
Vegetable paella
Vegetable paella in its own right, with peppers, beans and artichokes.
Churros
Churros are a treat for all ages.
Planners, venues and businesses
Events in public spaces, like parks, typically need permission. We will provide any information the landowner or council asks for.
If you’re booking for a business, tell us how you’d like to handle the booking and payment, and we will talk you through the process. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.
Diets, allergies and planning
Most events have a mix of diets. To cater well for them:
- Ask guests about diets when you invite them
- Plan a covered spot for wet weather
- Make sure most people can sit to eat
- Ensure children stay back from the pans
At food time, we serve straight from the pan, while you enjoy your guests.
A jug of sangria sets the tone, with an alcohol-free version for drivers and children.
Paella compared with other options
Hog roasts don’t suit vegetarians and vegans. Paella covers everyone with separate pans. Tapas, desserts, sangria, staff and crockery are optional extras, so you only pay for what you want.
